Aug. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Hurricane Gordon, the seventh named
storm of the Atlantic season, remains on track to cross the
eastern Azores tomorrow, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said
in its latest advisory.

The hurricane is about 160 miles (255 kilometers) southwest
of the Azores’ Sao Miguel Island and is traveling east-northeast
at 21 miles (33 kilometers) per hour, the Miami-based center
said in its 5 p.m. Eastern time advisory. It’s a Category 1 on
the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale.

The storm has maximum sustained winds of 85 mph, down from
90 mph at 2 p.m.

Gordon will experience “some additional weakening” the
next two days, the agency said. Hurricane-force winds extend 35
miles outward from Gordon’s center, the advisory said.
